Ask Daryl – Your Professional Organizer: Let’s get started

How about taking a few minutes, really a few hours, to tackle your clothes closet? I know, I know, this isn’t exactly what you wanted to do, but it will take less time than you think, and the rewards will be amazing.

Now, you’ll want to have on hand, trash bags, dust rags, a box or two for donating (you can use bags, but for giving items away it’s nicer to have them boxed up), water to hydrate, and comfy clothes.

If you have shelves, remove items and set them aside. As you pull things down or off shelves think about it you really need to keep them, or if there is a better place to store them, or if there is no need for them at all. If you can’t decide right away, then hang on to them until you can think about them at a later time. Put items you want to donate into boxes or bags as you go. Pick up trash, as well.

Don’t put anything back just yet. Decide how you want shoes, clothes or other items stored on the shelves displayed in your closet. Then you can start dusting off the shelves and putting things back in an orderly fashion.

Hanging clothing can remain where it is because you will take each piece and make the same decisions as before. Then decide if you want them hung by type and color, put them on good hangers (they don’t have to be expensive), and rearrange.

It’s a wonderful way to refresh your closet and finding things when you need them will be much easier.

It’s as simple as that!
